not just space ships - buildings, furniture and all manner of other objects in the background both hampson and bellamy were fantastic and more people need to have access to their work...

Yep, man Eagle and Action were great - even when Deathlord or whatever the photo story was in Eagle was running. Thank's be to the Badger that is my father for throwing all the oldens away when the family moved for the eleventh time (and he broke my cheap chinese Shockwave knock off toy).

Didn't Hampson actually build full-sized props of the Anastasia and other such complicated futuristic-type gubbins, and then draw the comic from posed photographs he took?

Hm. Typing that out, I can see it being entirely possible that I dreamt all that. But I know that Bellamy came in and completely redesigned pretty much everything in Spacefleet, from top to bottom. As you do. Everything except Dan's eyebrows.

But yes, a nice long run of Dare reprints would be nice for everyone. It's lovely through and through.

I have been thinking about this for quite a while, and I have to say that I think the best comic ever in my opinion was Jaka's Story. It was before Sim went totally round the bend, showed his incredible skill in layout, storytelling and expression and had a perfectly heartbreaking story for all the characters involved.

If that was the last Cerebus story, it would have been considered a masterpiece instead of being thought of as a madman's rant as it has for the past 10 years or so.

For emotional resonance, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (Record of a shopping trip to Yokohama) always brings a lump to this old soldier's throat. Or maybe that's a tumour.
LINKY!

Okay, got V for Vendetta, read it. It was very good. Great, even. Terrific. But I don't think it was at all emotionally affecting. The end itself was predictable, and there were a few empty holes, I felt. But very good work.

What about The Crow, no-one like that one?

I founf much of LoEG volume 2 very emotionally engaging, particularly when Hyde dances off to meet his doom.

Crow = Sandman with guns. Not my cup of tea.

Eric Drooker's 'Flood' graphic novel had a real effect on me. I found it in this ace Anarchist Bookshop in Whitechapel. Stark silent black and white comic about one man's increasing alienation in a very New York-like city. The 'flood' of the title is'was an extremely cathartic experience.
